Alé was introduced to the Barre workout by a co-worker in L.A. and immediately fell in love! She found it a great compliment to her Marathon and Ironman Triathlon training. Yes, this babe is an Ironman!
After moving to the Bay Area, she found Barre again and made it a part of her everyday life. Moving back to OC, she hunted for a studio and finally found Studio Barre San Juan Capistrano and was immediately hooked by not only the workout but also the amazing and inviting community this studio offers, she found her happy place! When approached about the opportunity to possibly become an instructor she could not say no. The idea of bringing the joy and positivity she feels from the Tuck is something she definitely wanted to be able to bring to others.
Outside of Barre, she works as a Recruiting Manager, always working with others to help them to their next level! When not working, she enjoys time with her boyfriend and their new house, cuddling with their fur babies: Princess Monkey (cat), Cleo (dog), cooking/baking in their brand new kitchen, and visiting her mom and family in Texas every chance she gets.

Taylor has been dancing for pretty much her whole life and has trained in many styles such as hip hop, jazz, ballet, modern and middle eastern, but her passion is hip hop. She was on competitive hip hop dance teams in high school and college that competed at Dance Worlds and Tremaine Dance Nationals for several years. Before she made the move from Indiana to California, she was owner, coach, and choreographer for New York Dance Connection Forever. She was a competitive hip hop dance teacher for 6-18 year olds and taught students who had never danced before, had never done hip hop before, nor had they ever competed before and took them to Tremaine Dance Nationals where they placed at Nationals both years. Dance gives her the ability to express myself and the opportunity to shine in creative ways when it’s time to perform. She also loves the other side of being a dance teacher and seeing her choreography come to life on stage.
Taylor likes staying busy and taking all the opportunities she can. She is currently working 3 jobs! She is also a dance cardio fitness instructor at Dance Candy Fitness and she works at U.S. Bank. She loves the fitness/dance works but also enjoys being a banking professional. Staying active is a big part of her life! She is certified in personal training, sports nutrition, strength & conditioning, and online coaching. You will enjoy taking her class as you will work hard while having fun and she will be your biggest cheerleader to push you through class. Confidence is key and keys open doors to new adventures.

In what little free time Taylor has, you can find her and her man at the beach, hiking, camping, taking short trips to places such as Catalina Island, Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks, Grand Canyon, etc. where they love to connect with nature or she takes short trips home to see her family who she misses so very much.
